A little bit about me

Fun loving artist who loves nature, photography, education, culinary arts and much more. Looking to share my knowledge in a home setting with a family in need of some good structure and balance while helping aid to the upbringing of their children. My skillset with children varies from my 10 plus years working with infants, children, students and teenagers as a paraprofessional, local family photographer, mother of 2 boys myself as well as field trip coordinator and entertainer for an alpaca and goat farm and non profit organizations in St. Paul.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Being 100% transparent and present with and for the family. Attention to details along with patience are my strongest strengths when it comes to working with any child. I first think of them and then myself second. Its important to me for the children to have the experience they will cherish for their whole lifetime knowing their parents chose a strong willed, creative and over fun person to be apart of their upbringing.

My experience with special needs children...

I have worked with children that have Autism, Add, Behavioral disorders, Down-syndrome, Non verbal children as well as handicapped.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My most memorable many moment(S) have been with my niece that I have nannied over 10 years and taking her to places within the metro area and watching her growth and knowledge expand by taking her out into the world to experience all that this great state and country has to offer us. From local trails, hiking, beaches to swim - geocaching and local theatre / art museums, all the way out to the country for life on the farm learning about alpacas and goats. She has the best memories together and as her own person being apart of all I have offered her in a very free, fun loving way.
